Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the dental specialty that deals with surgical procedures, ranging from minor to major interventions, in the mouth and the broader area of the jaws and the larger part of the face. The oral and maxillofacial surgeons at our clinic treat daily cases, from difficult tooth extractions and implant placements to complex surgeries for the treatment of neoplasms, all performed in well-equipped surgical centers.
